Re: Show OS2L button status in Virtual DJ

OS2L Developers added a note in the os2l.org which now reads..

"If the DMX software doesn't send feedback commands, os2l_button acts as a flash button (it sends 'on' when pressed, 'off' when released) - use 'os2l_button "mybutton" on' to not send commands on release.
If the DMX software sends feedback commands, os2l_button acts as a toggle button (it sends the opposite of the last feedback when pressed, nothing on release) - use 'os2l_button "mybutton" while_pressed' to send a command on release.
"

For Action POIs i believe it's the same as triggering a button/Pad , no ?

Reading this new note, it seems we should be able to implement feedback for toggle buttons IF we send NO feedback for flash buttons. We are going to try that ...

Done for next fix file. It's ok if no feedback sent for "flash" buttons.

Hmm the link above leads to this topic's first page, or do i miss something ?

EDIT.. Ok found the fix file here.. https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com/viewt ... =85&t=3438

Feedback works, but not commands sent from VDJ to Sweetlight.

So i have a Pad in the DMX Pads page assigned as os2l_button 'SCENE1". When clicked, the SCENE1 is not triggered. But if i trigger from Sweetlight the button in VDJ turns on/off properly showing the status.

Sadly, as said here https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com/viewt ... =94&t=5845 "VDJ transforms all capital letters to lowercase letters when sending messages".
TheLightingController's buttons names are case sensitive, so you have to name the buttons in lowercase.
